Chapter 164 True Membership Gold Card

Most people who travel to France will go to the Arc de Triomphe and the Seine River; if they have the opportunity, they will definitely want to taste the famous French food: foie gras and French onion soup...

so?
Herb would take his family to the French opera?
Albert couldn't understand Herb's thoughts, maybe it was due to the sufficient budget, or maybe it was a rare opportunity, but it wasn't an important matter anyway.

Before returning to the UK, the Andersons took a car to the Bastille Opera House, planning to watch the opera scheduled not long ago to draw a perfect end to the trip to France.

In other words, this opera is actually "Romeo and Juliet" that Albert is familiar with.

Albert watched the movie "Romeo and Juliet" in his previous life.

As for opera?

Anyway, I never watched an opera in my previous life.

With the "help" of Albert, Herb successfully obtained the previously reserved tickets.

After passing the ticket check at the entrance of the Bastille Opera House, several people entered the auditorium along the passage.

Opera houses usually close early, and the Andersons are among the last of the audience, most of whom are already seated.

The four walked along the aisle in the middle of the seats, and quickly found their seats through the numbers on the tickets.

There were still five empty seats in that row, and besides the Anderson family, it seemed that there was one person who hadn't arrived in time.

On the right side of Albert is a gray-haired elderly couple, probably aware of Albert's gaze, the old man turned his head and smiled at him, Albert smiled back politely, and turned his attention back Put it in the performance brochure issued by the opera house.

However, the performance brochures were all in French, and only Albert could understand them. He whispered the contents to share with his family, and discussed the opera by the way.

Herb and Daisy once saw "Romeo and Juliet" together, but only at the opera house in England, and this time in France, the opera adaptation and style may be slightly different.

Romeo and Juliet is an opera divided into five acts and six scenes.Albert didn't tell the content, and it would be very unfriendly to Nia who had never seen the spoiler, so it's better to maintain a sense of expectation.

As the Andersons discussed the opera in whispers,
The spectator in the empty seat next to him also hurried over. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties, and his suit gave Albert an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

The middle-aged man seemed to know the old couple, and just whispered a few words when the theater bell rang, which heralded that the opera was about to start.

The whole theater fell silent in an instant, the originally dim lights were also extinguished, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, only the stage was still bright.

"It's very atmospheric."

Albert was not talking either, and focused all his attention on the stage.

To be honest, Albert, who didn’t know anything about opera, after watching the first act “The Capulet’s House”, his cognition of opera became to use singing and music to explain and express the plot, but he had to It is said that this opera still has some charm, and it can understand what is being expressed on the stage, which is much better than the concert of the famous Celestina Warbeck in the magic world.

The first act of "Romeo and Juliet" talks about Romeo and Juliet's acquaintance and love, but they find that they are enemies. The period is full of unique French lightness, elegance and romantic style.

Albert glanced at his family in his spare time. Daisy and Herb had already entered the state of appreciation, while Nia was not very able to understand opera, and was reaching out to cover a yawn.

Probably bored!

This is actually not surprising, and it would certainly be the case if he was just a child.

In other words, the middle-aged uncle next to Nia actually entered a state of trance. Obviously he has no interest in opera, but he had to watch opera with his family.

"Their voices are really good!"

This was Nia's exclamation after the curtain fell, and Albert next to him couldn't help laughing, but he still couldn't let himself laugh out loud, and just replied softly: "Yes!"

Both Romeo and Juliet belong to the high-pitched type. As Nia said, their voices are really powerful, and they can actually make such a high-pitched note.

The second act didn't keep the audience waiting too long, and it was staged very quickly. It was located in the garden outside Juliet's bedroom, and Romeo and Juliet actually secretly decided to live forever.

Looking at the French in the performance brochure, Albert explained the general story of the previous scene to Nia in the spare time after the performance ended and the curtain fell
"I dare say, the two of them definitely didn't get together in the end." Nia said after listening.

"If it's an enemy, how can they be together in the end? It must be a tragedy."

The third scene began with Nia muttering...

As for the outcome of "Romeo and Juliet", it naturally ended in tragedy as Nia said.

Romeo was sentenced to be deported for killing Juliet's cousin. The two parties were going to pretend to be dead for a private life, but the priest's messenger was delayed halfway, resulting in the message not being delivered to Romeo in time, which directly led to Romeo's tenderness in the fifth act. Under the tone of lyrical sadness, she committed suicide by taking poison. When Juliet woke up and found that her lover was dead, she drew her sword and committed suicide.

The curtain fell slowly, and there was enthusiastic applause in the opera house.

"Well, isn't the opera not bad?" Herb asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Albert thought for a while and said again, "But I still think movies are more suitable for me."

"Where's Nia?" Daisy asked.

"Here, I've been holding her hand." Albert's eyes fell on the empty seat in front of him. The middle-aged man actually left halfway?

When did it happen that I didn't notice it?
"Nia, what are you doing?" Daisy reminded with a frown, "I'm leaving, grab Albert's hand and don't get lost."

"Follow up." Herb said again, "Don't push, don't rush, follow the flow of people and leave slowly."

"I know this, Nia is gone." Albert responded aloud.

After leaving the Bastille Opera House, Nia suddenly asked: "Albert, if the messenger could feel in time, would Romeo and Juliet be together?"

"No!" Albert said calmly.

"Why?" Nia asked, tilting her head.

"Because the courier will always be late, even if Shakespeare is not late, the courier will be late." Albert said lightly.

"Ahem! Albert said that Romeo and Juliet are just characters in a drama, so their fate has long been doomed." Herb was choked by Albert's words, and quickly explained.

"What if it's in reality?" Nia asked again.

"They will definitely be together." Daisy comforted first. She stared at her son and husband with a little dissatisfaction, telling them to shut up and not spoil the romantic atmosphere here. The girls naturally hope that Romeo and Juliet can Together, not buried together after death.

"Nia, what were you picking up just now?" Albert changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, I was picking this up just now." Nia handed a golden card in her hand to Herb, "It must have been lost by an audience member."

"What is this?" Herb was also taken aback after reading it.Because this is not a gold card in name, but a real gold card, a gold card made of gold.

"Gold?" Albert frowned slightly as he stared at the card made of gold.

In fact, they all felt quite speechless. The gold card is to say, they didn't expect that someone actually used gold to make a gold card. What a pain in the ass.

The world of local tyrants is really incomprehensible?

"You guys wait here for a while, I'll give it to the staff of the Bastille Opera House." After Herb finished speaking, he was going to return to the Bastille Opera House with the gold card and hand it over to the staff there.

"Let me take a look, I always feel that the text on it looks familiar."

Herb found that he could not read the words on the gold card.However, the image is understandable, it looks like a pot and a stick.

When Albert had just received the gold card, an accident happened suddenly. The hand holding the gold card suddenly turned in a certain direction, as if there was a powerful force, ready to take the gold card away.

"How is this going?"

Albert reacted immediately, and when the gold card was about to slip out of his fingertips, he grabbed it almost instinctively, and focused on the gold card. The protective bracelet on his wrist counteracted the effect of the Flying Curse.

"What happened just now?" Herb was taken aback. He also saw the picture of the golden card almost flying away by himself.

"A wizard is using a spell to summon it." Albert explained casually, "However, that bastard will really cause me trouble."

"What's wrong?" Daisy asked.

"I don't know if the other party's use of the Flying Curse will be pinned on my head." Albert muttered, he hated that one day he would become a blame man for no reason.

Only then did he decide to buckle the gold card. As for the Iron Armor Curse on the protective bracelet?

The magic on the magic props will not be monitored by the Ministry of Magic, just like using a broomstick, so Albert is not worried about this at all.

"You mean..." Nia asked in a low voice, "The person next to us just now is a wizard?"

"Don't discuss these things here again." Albert warned in a low voice.

"Return this golden card, or hand it over to the Bastille Opera House?" Daisy suggested, she didn't want an unknown wizard to suddenly come to ask for the golden card.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Albert glanced at the rune text on it: Extraordinary Pharmacist Association.

If he hadn't been harassed by the owls from the Ministry of Magic, Albert would return the membership gold card to the original owner through other means.

If it is really inexplicable, wait for the other party to help resolve the misunderstanding before returning it to the other party.

After all, are these pharmacists rich?It is so extravagant to use gold as a member gold card.

Moreover, this membership gold card is actually a magic item?
